Anexample method includes placing an electrolyte solution in a chemicalreaction chamber. The method may further include adding water to thechemical reaction chamber. The method may also include applying afocused magnetic field and an electric field to a mixture of thepurified water and the electrolyte solution to cause generation of thestructurally altered gas molecule from the purified water. Thestructurally altered gas molecule can be a combination of two parts ofhydrogen and one part of oxygen.

The aforementioned Appendix is incorporated hereinby reference for all purposes.

FIG. 1 illustrates an example system 100 for generating a structurallyaltered gas molecule, according to an example embodiment. The system 100may include a water source 105, a water pretreatment system 110, achemical reaction chamber 115, an electric field generator 120, earthmagnets 125, and pipelines 130. The system may also include pressureregulators. The electric field generator 120 may include an electricalinverter and solar panels.

The water source 105 may provide water as a raw material for generatingthe gas molecule product. The water pretreatment system 110 may preparethe water for the chemical reaction chamber 115. The water pretreatmentsystem 110 may include a filtration system, an absorption system, and apurification system to produce the purified water 140.

The chemical reaction chamber 115 may contain an electrolyte solution150. The electrolyte solution 150 can be made using a mixture of ahydroxide salt and an acid salt. The purified water 140 can be providedto the chemical reaction chamber 115. The earth magnets 125 may generatea permanent focused magnetic field. The electrical field generator 120may generate an electromagnetic field. The focused magnetic field andthe electrical field may drive chemical reaction that generates thestructurally altered gas molecule 160 from the purified water suppliedinto the chemical reaction chamber 115. The electrolyte solution 150 mayprovide a medium for the focused magnetic field to align and impartenergy of the focused magnetic field on the purified water mixed in withthe electrolyte solution and, thereby, chemically generate thestructurally altered gas molecule 160 from the purified water 140. Thetemperature in the chemical reaction chamber 115 can be from 60 degreesto 120 degrees in Fahrenheit. The pressure in the chemical reactionchamber 115 can be from 1 atmosphere to 40 pounds per square inch gauge(psig).

The structurally altered gas molecule 160 can be 99.9% hydrogen andoxygen combination in two parts of hydrogen to one part of oxygen ratioat the standard temperature of 68 degrees of Fahrenheit and pressure of1 atmosphere (STP). The structurally altered gas molecule 160 may havethe O—H bond length between 0.95 and 1.3 angstroms and the H—O—H bondangle between 94 degrees and 104 degrees.

The molecular weight of the structurally altered gas molecule 160 can bebetween 12.14 and 12.18 atomic mass units (AMUs) at STP. In comparison,the molecular weight of pure water vapor is 18 AMUs at STP. At STP, therelative density of the structurally altered gas molecule 160 comparedto dry air is 41.18%-42.00%. In comparison, relative density of purewater vapor compared to dry air is 62.19%. The structurally altered gasmolecule 160 may remain stable at pressure more than 300 psig.

When dissolved in pure water having 2 parts per million (ppm) of totaldissolved solids (TDS) at 25 degrees of Celsius, the structurallyaltered gas molecule 160 may generate an oxidation/reduction potential(ORP) of approximately −50 to −360 mV and a pH of 6.1 to 6.8 in theresulting gas-water mixture. The ORP and pH may remain stable in aclosed insoluble vessel for at least 30 days. In comparison, the purewater does not possess a stable negative ORP at a pH below 7.

When dissolved in pure water (2 ppm TDS at 25 degrees of Celsius), thestructurally altered gas molecule 160 may reduce the concentration ofTDS from 2.0 ppm to 1.0 ppm, i.e., the reduction is 50%. Barringcontamination, the concentration of TDS remains stable at 1 ppm in aclosed insoluble vessel indefinitely.

The changes in structure and properties of the structurally altered gasmolecule 160 are caused by changes in electronic structure of the gasstructurally altered molecule 160 due to applying the focused magneticfield and the electrical field to the mixture of the electrolytesolution 150 and purified water 140.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing energy levels 200 of molecular orbitals ofhomonuclear diatomic molecules of elements of the second period in theperiodic table. In the Molecular Orbital Theory, there is known aphenomenon called σ-π (sigma-pi) mixing. This phenomenon influencesexisting s and p molecular orbitals by imparting electromagnetic energy.In the case of oxygen, the sigma-2px, pi-2py and pi-2pz orbitals areclose enough for the respective stability. Thus, the energy levels ofthese orbitals can supersede each other with small amounts of focusedenergy input. The superseding in the energy levels has a direct effecton the molecular wavefunction of a molecule, effective nuclear charge,atomic radius of the oxygen in molecules, and causes significant changesin the molecular structure.

According to the Molecular Orbital Theory, the electrons are delocalizedthroughout the entire molecule to allow atomic orbitals to formmolecular orbitals. This effect allows creating both bonding andanti-bonding interactions for filling orbitals. Accordingly, this allowspredicting of the arrangement of electrons in molecules.

The de-localization of electrons and change in energy levels(substantiated by Molecular Orbital Theory as described above) can beimparted by the process described in above with reference to FIG. 1 .Application of the focused magnetic field and the electric field on thepurified water feedstock in the presence of the electrolyte solution isthe driver for the structural changes to purified water feedstock. Thestructural changes convert the purified water from a liquid form to agaseous form with a two hydrogen to one oxygen ratio. These structuralchanges allow molecules of the gaseous form to exist as a stable gas atSTP.

The structural changes include changes in the bond angle, bond lengthand neutralization of hydrogen bonding by deploying sufficient energy toneutralize the hydrogen bonding in the pure water. Structural changessimilar to the ones that allow molecules of the same outer valenceorbitals with lone pairs of electrons in their structure to exist asboth gasses and liquids, are observed in nature. For example, pure water(H2O) with molecular weight of 18.0 g/mol, has a bond angle of 104.5degrees and an 0—H bond length of 0.9572 angstroms and exists as aliquid at STP. Hydrogen sulfide, (H2S), has the same outer valencestructure as oxygen and a molecular weight of 34.1, a bond angle of 92.1degrees and an S—H bond length of 1.34 angstroms. However, in contrastto the pure water, the hydrogen sulfide exists as a gas at STP.

FIG. 3 is a plot 300 of the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR)transmittance spectra of deionized water, a pure water before (WB)infusion with the structurally altered gas molecule, and a pure waterafter (WA) infusion with the structurally altered gas molecule in theregion of 3500-4000 inverse centimeters (cm⁻¹).

FIG. 4 is a plot 400 of the FTIR transmittance spectra of deionizedwater, WB, and WA in the region of 1600-1750 cm⁻¹. The plots 300 and 400show differences in bands corresponding to the symmetrical andasymmetrical stretch in bond length and bands corresponding to the bondangle “scissoring”.

FIG. 5 are plots 500 of FTIR molecular spectra of the structurallyaltered gas molecule at pressures of 10 per square inch (psi) and 5 psi.The peaks at 600.2 cm⁻¹ and 600.0 cm⁻¹ in the plots 500 show that thestructurally altered gas molecule 160 has a unique structure differentfrom the structure of the pure water vapor. In comparison, an FTIRmolecular spectra of the pure water vapor has no peaks in the areaaround 600 cm⁻¹. Additionally, the peaks at 600 cm⁻¹ cannot be relatedto a diatomic gas because the FTIR of divalent gasses does not includepeaks. Furthermore, the peaks at 600.2 cm⁻¹ and 600.0 cm⁻¹ are directlyproportional to the observed gas molecule pressures recorded during theanalysis. This proportionality substantiates that the peaks at 600.2cm⁻¹ and 600.0 cm⁻¹ are caused by the pure structurally altered gasmolecule 160 generated by the system 100.

Neutralization of hydrogen bonding in the pure water feedstock allowsthe resulting gaseous HOH molecule to be released (evaporated) from thechemical reaction chamber 115 via restructuring the pure water in thegaseous form. The neutralization of the hydrogen bond and increase inevaporation is also observed in water that has been infused withstructurally altered gas molecule 160.

FIG. 6 is plot 600 of a chromatogram 610 of the WA infusion with thestructurally altered gas molecule and a chromatogram 620 of the WBinfusion with the structurally altered gas molecule. The chromatograms610 and 620 are recorded using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS).

FIG. 7 is a diagram 700 that depicts Table 1 showing peak area counts inthe chromatograms 610 and 620 shown in FIG. 6 and Table 2 showingpercentage of peak area counts in the chromatograms 610 and 620 shown inFIG. 6 . The peak area for WA is larger than the peak area for WB. Thepercentage of the peak area for the WA is also larger than thepercentage of the peak area for the WB. The same increase in the peakarea is also observed for structurally altered gas molecule 160 ascompared to the regular water vapor.

FIG. 8 shows an expanded plot 800 of the chromatogram 610 and FIG. 9shows an expanded plot 900 of the chromatogram 620. The first peak inthe 1.56 range on the X axis (Time) shows an approximate 40% increase invalue of Abundance, (Y axis) from 200,000 to 320,000 or ˜37.5% in thechromatogram 610 (WA—water after infusion with the structurally alteredgas molecule 160) as compared to the chromatogram 620 (WB—the waterbefore the infusion). The second peak in the 2.20 range on the X axis(Time) shows an increase in Abundance, (Y Axis) from 120,000 for WB to155,000 for WA or ˜22.6%. These differences indicate structural changeof the water treated by the structurally altered gas molecule 160.Specifically, the differences indicate differences in H—O bond length,H—O—H bond angle, and decreasing influence of hydrogen bond with theincrease in vapor release in the GC-MS sample chamber.

Thus, the FTIR plots 400 and 500, chromatography plots 600, 800, and 900indicate that wave number, wave harmonic, angular frequency, angularwavelength, and angular period associated with the electromagneticenergy and geometry the structurally altered gas molecule are differentthan those resulting from any related electrolysis technique employed toproduce hydrogen, (H2), oxygen, (O2), or any other molecule containingthese elements.

FIG. 10 is a diagram 1000 showing a dyno test analysis for a 110 octanefuel with and without structurally altered gas molecule infusion. Theline 1010 represents the untreated fuel (i.e., a fuel not infused withthe structurally altered gas molecule) and the lines 1020, 1030, and1040 are runs of the dyno test on the same 110 octane fuel infused withthe structurally altered gas molecule. All dyno tests for the 110 octanefuel infused with the structurally altered gas molecule were performedat the same temperature, pressure, and conditions as those used for thedyno test of the untreated fuel. During the research, there was anaverage of 37.9% increase in horsepower (hp) at the 71.212 miles perhour mark on the dyno tests with the 110 octane fuel infused with thestructurally altered gas molecule.

The empirical evaluation of the emissions associated with the untreatedfuel and the 110 octane fuel infused with the structurally altered gasmolecule (via a smell test) showed a significant decrease in unburnedhydrocarbons and other undesirable emissions and smells shown by the 110octane fuel infused with the structurally altered gas molecule.

FIG. 11 is a flow chart showing a method 1100 for generating astructurally altered gas molecule from water, according to an exampleembodiment. The method 1100 may commence, in block 1102, with placing anelectrolyte solution in a chemical reaction chamber. The electrolytesolution can be made using a mixture of a hydroxide salt and an acidsalt.

In block 1106, the method 1100 can proceed with applying a focusedmagnetic field and an electric field to a mixture of the purified waterand the electrolyte solution to cause generation of the structurallyaltered gas molecule from the purified water. The structurally alteredgas molecule can be a combination of two parts of hydrogen and one partof oxygen. A molecule of the structurally altered gas molecule has ahydrogen-oxygen-hydrogen bond angle between 94 degrees and 104 degreesand a bond length between 0.95 Angstrom and 1.3 Angstrom.
